[How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and OTA works too!)

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

Works great for my ipad, but no other wifi machines work. My mac book pro and other laptops see it and conect, but do not get internet. My HP touch pad does not even see my Optimus. Any thoughts?

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

When i hit step 4 it hangs and wont do much of anything.

can someone help?

here is what my cmd prompt looks like


Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Zach>cd C:\root\

C:\root>adb shell
$ rm -r /data/local/tmp
rm -r /data/local/tmp
$ mkdir /data/local/tmp
mkdir /data/local/tmp
$ exit
exit

C:\root>adb push gingerbreak /data/local/tmp/gingerbreak

then it just stops.

do you have the folder extracted (download in the op) and the files inside that folder (from the op) inside your "root" folder? if not, nothing will happen as it cant find the file to push

good questions but this doesnt have to do with rooting an optimus S
 
Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

okay I'm a total noob to this but I want to root my phone. now i dont understand when i plug in my phone or get any information into it... this guide doesnt clarify that...
 
Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

Someone please explain as if explaining to someone that's never even heard of this before. Things like "path" (what and where), and when run the cmd and get to part of typing adb shell, it doesn't recognize that command. Excuse my ignorance, but someone please help and explain in a little more detail. Very frustrated! Thank you!
 
Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

@sydewayz soundz & KJOM:

You're both being impatient. Sometimes the exploit can take a few minutes to work. You need to wait until you see the # sign.
 
Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

Do you know if this root method will work if you are on the LS670ZVH softwsare version or only on the ZVD??
 
Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

How long is a "few minutes" for step 9 (./gingerbreak)? I have given it almost 25-30 min and I still dont get the # prompt back. All drivers were installed, and I can get through steps 1 - 8 easily.

I also don't have a SD card in the phone. Is that required for the rooting process?

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

ok, dumb question... how can I get the android sdk for my LG Optimus without having an account since Sprint cannot provide coverage at my home, and is very spotty in my place of work?
I plan to develop some apps once I get it rooted... but cannot seem to get the SDK
Thanks!
:cool:

You download it on a pc from the internet has nothing to do with sprint.
